Description

Bruno Verdi 'Buttafuoco' Oltrepo Pavese Rosso 2024A structured, fruity red made from a blend of 65% Croatina, 25% Barbera and 10% Uva Rara.

After manual harvesting, the grapes are destemmed and undergo a two day cold maceration; then, there is a brief fermentation period with a series of remontages which results in a wine of substantial concentration but with very gentle tannins.
